Subject: CVE-2025-39831: fbnic: Move phylink resume out of service_task and into open/close

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@...nel.org>

Description
===========

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

fbnic: Move phylink resume out of service_task and into open/close

The fbnic driver was presenting with the following locking assert coming
out of a PM resume:

A bit of digging showed that we were invoking the phylink_resume as a part
of the fbnic_up path when we were enabling the service task while not
holding the RTNL lock. We should be enabling this sooner as a part of the
ndo_open path and then just letting the service task come online later.
This will help to enforce the correct locking and brings the phylink
interface online at the same time as the network interface, instead of at a
later time.

I tested this on QEMU to verify this was working by putting the system to
sleep using "echo mem > /sys/power/state" to put the system to sleep in the
guest and then using the command "system_wakeup" in the QEMU monitor.

The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2025-39831 to this issue.

Mitigation
==========

The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes.  Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release.  Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all.  If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
